The big event(s)

What a crazy week! On Wednesday, a guy I worked with at the casino tracked me down and invited me to a ZZ Top concert that night. We went and had a BLAST. My life-long goal of rushing the stage during the song "Legs" is finally complete, and so is downing a lot of Coors Light. :)

Early the next morning, I drove to Long Beach to hop on a ferry to Catalina Island for the Eco-Marathon. The island was beautiful, and we got to work right away setting up for the event. My boss from KC Sports got me the in, and I'm very grateful because the event was very well put together and I met a lot of great athletes. I was mostly in charge of athlete food and making sure supplies got to aid stations, so that gave me a chance to float around to many areas of race operations. It really built up my confidence and got me excited because I'm finally pursuing my career in event management/marketing. I also got invited back to work at more of the events coming up which is a huge plus. Hopefully I'll get the chance to tackle my own event soon.

Other than that, got back late Saturday and caught up on a lot of errands that I've neglected with working 60-75 hour work weeks. So I think I'm finally on the right page with everything. November has shot right by me though, however I can't wait to put up Christmas stuff the day after Thanksgiving! I'll be San Diego for Turkey Day helping out at a 5K and meeting another race director, who from what I hear is a leading female director in California. Sweet! Power/Chill baseball is going well too, I'm beginning to learn the ropes and make some progress in being their marketing assistant.

On a side note, Cowboy Mouth is playing a concert in San Diego on December 12 - who's with me?
